NFL power rankings, Week 5: Steelers bounce back

13. Recap: Talk about the one that got away? Leading 34-21 with less than five minutes remaining against the winless New Orleans Saints, a pair of costly turnovers (lost fumbles by Melvin Gordon and Travis Benjamin) opened the door for a comeback by Drew Brees and company. Just as was the case in their other two losses, the Bolts owned leads in the final quarter only to see them disappear and result in defeats. Philip Rivers threw for 321 yards and a pair of scores but his first interception of the season in the game’s closing seconds wrapped up the Saints’ initial victory of 2016 and a bitter loss for Mike McCoy’s squad. <p>Next Week: One of those original AFL rivalries is renewed in Oakland as the Chargers clash with the Raiders. The Silver and Black is off to a 3-1 start but lost their only home game of the season to the Atlanta Falcons. It’s also worth noting that the Bolts have lost nine straight games to their AFC West rivals dating back to the 2014 season.</p> <p>Playoff hopes: Mike McCoy’s team is in the exact position as it was at the end of the 2015 campaign: Owners of a 1-3 record and looking up at all three of their AFC West rivals. That losing streak within the division is a major problem and until the Chargers resolve that issue, it’s hard to take them serious as playoff contenders.</p>. 1-3. Previous: .
